Pros

Nothing to like about this product.

Cons

The publisher of the description of this product should have done his research as after installing this on my Windows 98SE computer, it miniturized all the graphics on my computer and will not play videos. I tried lowering the settings for resolution with no results. I have always trusted downloads from this sight, but NO MORE!!!! Even Microsoft's website says this is compatible. What a joke!!! Thanks for the lousy advice!!! And thanks for nothing.

"Upgrade Or Virus?"

January 22, 2003 / Version: Microsoft DirectX Drivers (Windows 98/98SE/Me) 8.1

2003-01-22 01:30:08

Summary

In the past I used DirectX7.0-8.0 and had no major problems with either. I downloaded 8.1 and my computer became very unstable and would freeze up quite often. Since DirectX doesn't come with an uninstaller, I had to search for one and came up with DirectX Buster. This program removed the virus out of my O/S. I reinstalled 7.0 and I'm very happy I took a couple of steps backwards. I recommend not to upgrade to 8.1. If you presently have an older version, do yourself a big favor and continue using it.
